Magpies to steal it at 2/1

Live on BTSport 1: Sat 12.45: Newcastle are an enticing 2/1 (Boylesports) to beat Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

Aston Villa were perhaps surprise winners last weekend at Stoke, where they were able to absorb Potters pressure and frustrate their opponents once they’d grabbed a vital goal.

However, on home soil Paul Lambert’s men will be more compelled to play on the front foot and that could be their undoing against a Newcastle side that showed a few promising signs in defeat to champions Manchester City last Sunday.

At 13/8, the Villans get the nod from BetVictor but the new-look Magpies represent better value at a generous 2/1 courtesy of Boylesports.

Bet365 make them an appealing even money in the ‘Draw No Bet’ market but they’re worth a small interest to prevail in the match betting, especially as they’ve had the upper hand in recent meetings between the two.

Ladbrokes chalk the visitors up at 9/1 to grab the only goal, they’re 4/1 at Skybet to triumph ‘to nil’ and lively-looking summer capture Emmanuel Riviere is 13/5 (888Sport) to find the net at any time.
